I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 202
Chapter 101.2
Mood could surprisingly change quite easily, to the extent that it could differ between going into and coming out of the restroom.
That was an incredibly important issue.
Growing up in a very depressing home environment, what allowed me to endure was the advice given by my aunt Eun-hee, who taught me how to ride a horse.
“When you’re feeling down, exercise, Eunsoo. Moving your muscles vigorously changes your mood. With that changed mood, you’ll see a way to navigate through situations. Humans are capable of superhuman strength, too, when they see a way out. Holding onto hope and persevering is what it means to be human.”
Even when the cats died, I went outside every day without fail.
It was because crying and wallowing in sorrow won’t solve anything. Of course, feeling better didn’t bring the dead cats back to life, but by moving my body, I found an immediate answer to what I needed to do—recovering the cats’ bodies—and I started from there.
‘And then, I got hit by a truck and died…’
Nevertheless, life went on, and thanks to the death, hadn’t I been able to live this new life surrounded by cats?
I let the wind embrace my body and glanced at Dimitri. His ash-colored hair gently fluttered in the breeze.
‘Furthermore, I’ve met someone who listens to my story so well and supports me.’
Dimitri was the first person since my mother to fully support me. Moreover, he willingly allowed me to undertake the enormous scale of work I wanted to do. As a result, even though the weight on my shoulders felt heavy and I was under a lot of stress, I felt incredibly strong and accomplished.
I couldn’t believe that I, who had considered myself timid, was now planning and executing a scheme that would overturn the empire…
‘All right. After exercising, I feel a surge of positivity again.’
I was so excited that I twirled around Dimitri as if dancing.
“Dimitri, I feel like I’ve become quite impressive since coming to Blois! It’s my feeling, so don’t make fun of me.”
However, Dimitri, whom I thought would tease me, surprisingly had a serious expression as he spoke.
“It’s not just a feeling of your own. Rowaine, you didn’t become impressive after coming to Blois, but you were impressive from the beginning. Blois changed completely after you arrived.”
“….!”
I never expected such heartfelt words to come from his mouth.
I stopped spinning and gazed at him. Well, I tried to do that, if only I hadn’t become dizzy so dizzy from spinning that my body wobbled.
“Ack!”
“Be careful.”
Dimitri supported my waist as I almost stumbled.
I looked up at him, almost falling into his arms. As his hair, glistening in the sunlight, swayed gently in the wind, his beautiful emerald eyes held only me within them.
I stared at him, speechless for a moment.
Perhaps it was because I had moved my body vigorously just before, but I could feel my heart beating rapidly. I thought I should adjust my posture and distance myself from him, but the comforting embrace he provided made it difficult to pull away.
When I saw him wear a languid smile, I couldn’t help but feel strange.
‘What is this…’
Startled by a newfound excitement I had never experienced before, I pushed him away belatedly and stood upright.
“…Th-thank you.”
For some reason, it was difficult to look him in the eyes.
“Let’s go in now, shall we? Thank you for coming out with me.”
“Don’t mention it.”

When we returned to the mansion, Agwen was anxiously looking for me.
“Madam! Madam!”
“What’s going on?”
“Something’s wrong with Sasha! Please come quickly!”
“….!”
Startled, I handed the reins to the servant and hurriedly ran up the stairs. As I burst into my room and opened the door, I saw Sasha moaning on the bed.
“Oh, Sasha.”
I knelt down beside the bed and held her hand tightly. I used my powers to check Sasha’s physical condition, but apart from being a little tired, there was nothing wrong with her body. Other than watching Sasha suffering, drenched in cold sweat, there was nothing I could do.
I looked anxiously at Dimitri, who had followed me, and Coco, who had the appearance of a cat.
“Angel…”
Coco nestled in my arms and rested his head against my cheek as though to help me feel better. Dimitri also sat beside me and patted my shoulder.
I whispered in a trembling voice.
“What if something goes wrong…?”
I was cautious about even saying such things, as I was worried that my words might bring bad luck.
Dimitri had a calm expression, so much so that I couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
“We can only hope she will do well.”
It was then.
Sasha began to convulse and writhe in agony.
“Sasha…!”
I fell into such panic that my efforts to soothe my mood were futile.
Honestly, it felt like I was going insane.
